SteveStar Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I searched the forums but there isn't a real answer to this question: In the installation of JaS 10.4.6 you have to select a partition where you wan't to install OSX but in my case there are NO PARTITIONS LISTED. Also in the 'box' in the left-side of the window there only are my dvd drive and the boot-dvd in it, but I can't select a partition or harddrive. Please help me out with this BIG problem. My system specs are: - AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice - Asus A8N-E - Asus Extreme AX700 PRO - Kingston ValueRram PC3200 (2x512 MB) - Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 80 GB - BenQ DW1620 Pro DVD/CD +- Rewriter - Ozaki VA303 2.1 Soundsystem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33837-installation-doesnt-list-partitions-nor-harddrive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpam Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The A8N-E has the nForce4 chipset, right? Well, are you trying to install to a SATA drive? If so, nF4 SATA does not work. You must install to a PATA drive. If the aforementioned is not the case (you are installing to a PATA drive), then have you used Disk Utility to partition/format the drive?

mspr Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi, I have a Gigabyte K8NXP9 with nForce4 chipset and I use SATA HD without problems with 10.4.8 You can try with this version... I suppose that it works with your motherboard too.

SteveStar Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 How can I convert SATA to PATA; with a programm or another cable or something? If it is a cable then: -Is my harddrive slower then? -Can I buy that cable in a usually computer store? -Does an IDE-cable instead of a SATA also works? Thanks very much Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33837-installation-doesnt-list-partitions-nor-harddrive/#findComment-240113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
